Darking/tinting out Yellow in e90 headlighs?
Has anyone tinted the yellow part in their headlights on their e90 335's? Or any e90 4dr?
Please post picks and what method you used. Right now I'm looking to use some spray tint and just spray over the yellow on my headlights. Comments? Suggestions? Last edited by Turb0Surge; 06-26-2012 at 10:37 AM.. |

I also would like to eliminate that orange from the head lights. They are ugly.

You can bake the headlights and remove the reflectors, if you've done it before and are willing to risk it. Otherwise, you can buy vinyl overlays to cover it up. I've baked open headlights before on other cars, but didn't want to risk the super $$ adaptive headlights, so I just covered it up w/vinyl.

It's a cheap eBay replica front bumper lip. Ac schnitzer style. I bought it a year ago for $130 + shipping. Then I painted it to match the car.

I originally thought you wanted to tint your entire headlight yellow like GT3 cars do. But you meant the 'orange/amber' reflector :P Look into getting something like this, I'm not sure where he got it but it looks like a simple vinyl overlay:

I'm in the same boat. I've seen the vinyl overlays but don't like em. Go to bimmian they have painted covers but kinda pricey. I just tinted my sidemarkers with tint spray and thought about doing the orange reflectors. I would like to see someone post more pics.
